Employment fitness analysis

This analysis compares a candidate's historical work preferences (derived from Glassdoor scores of their past companies) with a target company's profile, and generate an overall score to evaluate the fitness of a new job opportunity.

Step 1: Calculate WEFS

WEFS stands for weighted employment fitness score.

For each Glassdoor score category $c$ (Culture & values, DEI, Work/Life balance, etc.):

$\text{WEFS}_c = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (\text{Score}_{i,c} \times \text{Years}_i)}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \text{Years}_i}$

Step 2: Calculate Cartesian Distance

$\text{Distance} = \sqrt{\sum_{c=1}^{6} (\text{WEFS}_c - \text{CompanyT}_c)^2}$

Where $CompanyT_c$ is the target company's score for category $c$.

Step 3: Normalize

$\text{New Opportunity Fitness Score} = \frac{1}{1 + \text{Distance}}$

This gives a score between $0$ and $1$, where $1$ is perfect fit and values closer to $0$ are poor fit.

Example: Candidate with 3 Previous Jobs

Previous Companies:

Target Company T scores: $[3.0, 3.2, 2.2, 2.9, 3.4, 3.5]$

Step 1: Calculate WEFS (Weighted Employee Fitness Score)

$\text{Total years} = 3 + 1.5 + 2 = 6.5$

For each category:

WEFS = [3.27, 3.27, 3.44, 3.09, 3.27, 3.58]

Step 2: Calculate Distance to Company A

$\text{Company T} = [3.0, 3.2, 2.2, 2.9, 3.4, 3.5]$

$\text{Distance} = \sqrt{(3.27-3.0)^2 + (3.27-3.2)^2 + (3.44-2.2)^2 + (3.09-2.9)^2 + (3.27-3.4)^2 + (3.58-3.5)^2}$

$= \sqrt{0.073 + 0.005 + 1.538 + 0.036 + 0.017 + 0.006}$

$= \sqrt{1.675} = 1.29$

Step 3: Convert to Fit Score

$\text{Fit Score} = \frac{1}{1 + 1.29} = \frac{1}{2.29} = 0.44$

Result: This candidate has a fit score of $0.44$ with Company T, indicating moderate compatibility. The biggest gap is in Work/Life Balance (candidate expects $3.44$, company offers $2.2$).
